Does the lack of lakes in Santa Fe bother you?

I go there and camp - use to do it more often when I had a friend with a sail boat so I could get my water fix. I wouldn't want to live up there. Might be difficult to ski on Heron too. No-wake

That's great to know! I have no interest in skiing, so a no-wake lake or river sounds perfect for kayaking. I heard that there is going to be a Mountain Biking Festival there sometime this fall also. NM is sounding better and better every day, and I didn't think that was even possible. I really wish I could make the next few years fly by super fast so I could move NOW.

Even the phrase "no interest in skiing" sends chills up my spine.

why?

The lake at Nambe Pueblo is by far the most beautiful lake in NM. I satisfy me need for waterplay by hiking to Nambe Falls, and hanging out in the natural pool at the falls.
